Kinesys apexHOIST 1250kg

High capacity. Smooth movement.

The Kinesys apexHOIST 1250kg is a high-capacity variable-speed chain hoist designed for demanding automation applications where heavy loads need to move smoothly, accurately and repeatedly.

With a load capacity of 1,250 kg and speeds of up to 200 mm/s / 12 m/min, it is built for larger scenic elements, lighting structures and other substantial moving loads. Dual silent brakes, integrated load monitoring and true zero-speed holding help deliver controlled movement even in situations where the hoist forms part of the visible show action.

  • Designed for loads of up to 1,250 kg, making it suitable for larger suspended structures and heavier automated elements.

  • Reaches speeds of up to 200 mm/s / 12 m/min, combining high lifting capacity with smooth and precise movement.

  • The Apex system can hold the load at zero speed with the brakes open, allowing smooth starts, stops and precise positioning without unnecessary brake movement.

  • An integrated SIL3-rated load cell, real-time data logging, temperature monitoring and intelligent duty-cycle management give operators continuous feedback on load and hoist performance.
